without seeing your code it's a bit of guess work... you could try this use the callback function initCallback assuming that you are showing 5 items and your external control has id = btn-show-next, attaching an event something along these lines ought to help you.
*$('#btn-show-next').click(function(){ carousel.options.scroll = 5; carousel.next(); return false; });* post your code if you need more help.
